Curb appeal means attention to detail and that includes clean windows

You’re thinking about selling the house? You want it to sell fast and at the best possible price, right? You want it to look its best. Curb appeal matters and that means attention to detail. And, if you’re attending to every little detail, you don’t want to forget the windows. Dirty windows on a clean house can stand out like sore thumbs.

Of course, you want clean siding on the house, too. If it needs some TLC, you may want to have some power washing to bring the impression up to snuff.

You’re selling the house, you’re going to make sure it’s ready to impress potential buyers: the grass is cut, bushes are trimmed, windows are cleaned and everything is in its place. But what if you’re not selling the house?

Many of us simply like to keep our homes looking good. We want everything to be in tip-top shape. In fact, it’s a way of being a good neighbor. Most of us don’t appreciate a neighbor who allows their home to look like a hovel.

Then there are times when company is coming to visit.

No doubt you’ll spend time tidying up inside, vacuuming, dusting, washing the floors, bathroom and kitchen. You’ll also want clean windows when visitors are inside looking out. But, before they enter your home, they’ll gather an opinion while approaching the door. And dirty windows and/or walls won’t give a positive first impression.

Maybe, you’re one of those people who doesn’t mind washing your own windows. But, then again, you’ve got enough to do without taking on that big chore. For professionals who wash windows, they have the process down to a science. They do the work in short order and, if it’s a quality window cleaning company, they’ll leave your windows sparkling clean.

Professional window cleaners are also adept at climbing ladders and cleaning windows at heights. You don’t have to worry that you or a loved one will fall from a ladder.

Clean windows are one of the details you don’t want to miss when it’s time to clean, whether it’s Spring Cleaning, for a special event, to improve your home’s curb appeal when you put it up for sale, or just because it makes you feel good to have a nice clean home.

Yes, you can have your windows cleaned all year round

Even though it's winter, you can have your

windows cleaned all year round.

The problem with clean windows is you may not notice them because, well, they’re clean. But a dirty window is something that, more often than not, grabs your attention. And, even if you don’t think that it has touched a nerve, subconsciously, it may affect your state of mind. Those dirty windows may grate on you. If only you could keep your windows clean all year long. 

Turns out, you can! No, you don’t have to climb a ladder in the middle of January; but someone else, who is fully bonded and insured, can do it for you. Window cleaning companies, like NIW, clean windows all year round. 

Are you thinking, ‘That’s crazy talk! No one is going to try to clean a window outside when the temperature is below freezing. The water will freeze.” 

It turns out professional window cleaners do just that. They know what it takes / know what to use to ensure that the solution in their bucket doesn’t become a block of ice. Then they dress appropriately and carefully proceed to clean your windows. 

December, January, February and March: professional window cleaners are on the job. 

“We keep ‘em looking good all year round,” said Bill Thomas of Northern Illinois Windows. 

Though there is a point where the thermometer is a bit too low, in many cases, though it’s below freezing, window cleaners are on the job. 

“Some of our customers, including commercial customers such as Woodstock Country Club and Blue Ribbon Millwork, arrange for us to come out once a month all through the year,” said Thomas. “They don’t have to call us; as long as they want us to keep their windows clean, we’re on the job. You don’t have to worry.” 

While some window cleaning companies may sign homeowners up to contracts, companies, such as Northern Illinois Windows, don’t operate that way. 

As Thomas put it, “Our customers aren’t locked into anything. They can call us anytime they want and we’ll take them off the schedule. Or, if they want us to come back again, they can just give us a call and we’ll put them back on.” 

The same is true with Northern Illinois Windows’ commercial clients, who often want their windows cleaned once a week or every two weeks. 

And quality window companies, such Northern Illinois Windows, often offer other services, perfect for the cold months, like chandelier cleaning and Ceiling Fan Cleaning, to name a few.
